Re: [Phys-l] Climate skeptic convinced by data. Was: Re: Mike Mann _The hockey

The main driver of climate on Earth -- over and above any human-made
carbon emissions -- is the Sun. The evidence is clear. By analyzing ice
core samples and tree rings, scientists know that the Earth has gone
through warming and cooling trends in the past. It's been in a warming
trend for the past 150 years or so. There's really nothing that can be
done about this. Of course, many politicians (and people, too) are
scientifically illiterate and can only deal with problems which are
"human-made."

Isn't the more important question here, what is the cause of
thiswarming? Is it possible to find the correct solution if we don't know
the cause? And, we can not deny that there are some advantages to a
warming world,advantages that might ultimately outweigh the
disadvantages. Fred Bucheit
